About this property
A delightful, 300-year old, stone-built terraced cottage, in the very heart of the pretty Dales village of Horton-in-Ribblesdale, home of the famous Three Peaks, 6 miles from Settle. A delightful Three Peaks cottage, set across the road from one of the village's two traditional pubs, the cottage retains much original character, with wonderful beamed ceilings, a feature stone fireplace with warming multi fuel stove, and three cosy bedrooms, creating a very special atmosphere which exudes olde worlde charm. Outside this Three Peaks cottage, the spacious lawned garden is ideal for dining alfresco, and boasts a babbling brook and lovely views of the surrounding countryside.
The famous Settle-Carlisle Railway line, which passes over the magnificent Ribblehead Viaduct, is just a 5 minute walk from this Three Peaks cottage, whilst the market towns of Settle and Skipton are nearby. Various walks can be enjoyed from the doorstep on the Pennine Way and in the Yorkshire Dales National Park, while the more energetic visitor can 'clock in' at the village's Pen-y-Ghent cafe and take on the challenge of the Three Peaks walk! A wonderful Three Peaks cottage for a holiday in the Dales.
Horton-in-Ribblesdale sits in the Yorkshire Dales National Park and has a lovely Norman church and two pubs. The surrounding countryside is magnificent, offering the ideal location for fell walking, with the famous Three Peaks Walk, Pen-Y-Ghent, Whernside and Ingleborough offering some of the most challenging walks in the country. The Settle-Carlisle Railway passes through the village and passes some of the most beautiful scenery in the country. The nearby town of Settle offers a wide variety of pubs and restaurants whilst the market square features the Shambles, an historic 3-storey building with shops on two levels and houses above, and the Town Hall.

There is everything you could need in the cottage itself. The beds were extremely cozy. The pub landlord opposite was very helpful as the key safe had frozen when we arrived and we were unable to release the key but he had it sorted in minutes. Off course we managed a quick pint whilst waiting! Could do with a few bits of maintenance (only to be expected with the age of the place) one of the stairs feels like it is giving when you stand on it but we soon learnt to bypass this. Both porches could do with weather proofing especially the river side as this makes the hallway very cold. Also the gate to the side needs dog proofing we dare not allow our dogs to roam free for fear they would get to the road. None of this affected our stay and we would love to return in better weather. Thank you for the milk prosecco and doggy biscuits much appreciated.

The cottage had everything we needed for a very comfortable stay. We had two dogs and 4 adults and we had enough room. It is an ideal location for exploring by foot or by car, or even by train! We would definitely return
